Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 4-6 large eggs (add more if needed)
  • ⅓ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp red onions, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup spinach, chopped
  • ¼ cup tomatoes, diced
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Other

  • 1 large tortilla (burrito sized, or 2-3 if needed to cover dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Egg Mixture: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, red onions, tomatoes, feta cheese, spinach, and fresh dill. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Line Baking Dish with Tortilla: Place the large tortilla inside a round baking dish, ensuring it fully covers the base and sides. If one tortilla isn’t enough, use two or three to cover the dish completely.
  3. Add Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly into the tortilla-lined baking dish, spreading it out to fill the space.
  4. Bake the Quiche: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Use an oven mitt to gently wiggle the dish to check if the eggs have set.
  5. Extend Baking if Needed: If the egg mixture still jiggles, continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes until it is fully cooked and firm to the touch.
  6. Cool and Release: Once cooked through, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Use a spatula to carefully loosen the edges and remove the quiche from the dish.
  7. Serve: Slice the tortilla quiche into equal portions and serve warm, optionally with hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick.

Notes

  • You can adjust the number of eggs depending on the size of your baking dish to ensure the quiche sets properly.
  • Using fresh vegetables like spinach and tomatoes adds vibrant color and nutrients.
  • Feta cheese adds a tangy flavor but can be substituted with mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
  • Be sure to check the doneness by gently wiggling the pan to avoid under or overcooking the quiche.
  • This dish pairs well with salsa or hot sauce to add a spicy contrast.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
